Virgin Tiger Moth
Apantesis virgo

Observation date: July 08, 2012
Submitted by: vtsmallfry
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It's completely in tact and in perfect condition, except for the top left wing which I assume was symmetrical to the opposite wing. It was found this morning wedged in the headlight of the Jeep but hadn't driven since last night when it was dark. Weather last night was clear and slightly humid and warm.
